BETD2022 Tour Review and Highlights

During the third and last guided tour of BETD 2022, selected participants were able to explore the unique village of Feldheim, 60 km south of Berlin. Feldheim is entirely energy self-sufficient and thus the only one of its kind in Germany. The tour began with a presentation of the overall design of the village, followed by exciting visits to the various energy production sites. These include the local wind farm with 55 turbines, a solar PV park, a biogas plant with shared electrical and thermal power, and the battery storage system.
Feldheim is one of the most spectacular concepts and examples of supplying local businesses, private households and local government with renewable energy on a self-sufficient basis. Participants of this tour leaned how a decentralized sustainable energy supply can be developed and how energy independence can be achieved today.
